The short answer to whether you should skip SPF is: NO, especially if you will be exposed to the sun for a long time.

Although we know the importance of sun protection on a daily basis, sometimes we may think that skipping it for a day is not a big deal.

Here is why SPF is important:

☀️ Protection from melanin may not be enough - Exposure to UV radiation increases the production of melanin to protect the skin from serious damage.

☀️ Weakens skin barrier — the skin’s barrier becomes weak allowing potential damage leading to dry, flaky, and rough skin.

☀️ Damages collagen and elastin - UV exposure is also one of the factors that can cause collagen and elastin degradation. With less collagen and elastin, the skin may look wrinkled or sagging.

Here are some key points regarding how sugar can affect your skin️:

🍫 A high-sugar diet can aggravate acne by contributing to inflammation

🍫 When insulin levels increase, androgens are released which can clog pores, cause acne and increase bacteria proliferation

🍫 When blood sugar spikes, insulin production increases, enhancing sebaceous gland activity and promoting acne

Retinol vs Retinoid - Do You Know The Difference? 🫧

While both of these words sound similar, they do have some major similarities as they are both forms of Vitamin A that can offer amazing skin benefits.

Retinoids and Retinoid are forms of Vitamin A that provide a host of benefits to your skin. Where they differ comes down to strength, with over-the-counter Retinols providing less active ingredients than prescription Retinoids. Depending on your skin type, you can then decide which is right for you.

Retinoids are safe, amazingly effective ingredients to add to a skincare routine—and the benefits only increase the longer you use them. Start with a gentle Retinol product, or you may ask us if you are a candidate for the stronger stuff; then gradually work up to using it as part of a gentle skincare regimen.
